FLASH – NFFS One-Design Gas Returns for This Year!
From Bob Hanford –
Bill Vanderbeek, sponsor for the One-Design event since its inception, thought it had run its course. Then Bob Sowder saw a picture of Bruce Hannah’s Monks design, and asked if he could send the plans for it to him and Mark Vancil (Retro R/C) to possibly kit the design. A poll was sent out among active NATS participants, and enough responded that they WOULD pre-order the kit, and build and fly this design. So Mark produced the kit, and it was decided to add it to the schedule for one more year. There were also enough interested in both electric and gas powered versions to warrant separating them, since there were some that didn’t want to see the two combined. So that’s how we got here for one more year. No one-design rubber event this year, or for the foreseeable future.
